Talks On Volunteerism

Elizabeth Rusch welcomes invitations to give presentations on youth volunteerism to any relevant group, including students, parents, teachers, librarians, reading groups, and educators of all sorts. She will design her talk to be relevant to the group's interests. Rusch is especially delighted to talk with young people about their ideas to make the world better and to adults about Generation Fix and how to tap into their incredible energy and creativity. For instance, she can lead discussions on:

• Why we should look to young people for solutions to the world problems.
• Why kids roughly between the ages of 8-16 have a natural inclination to community service.
• How parents and teachers can encourage that natural inclination.
  
• Why parents and teachers should talk with kids about serious world problems including hunger, homelessness, violence, and discrimination.
  
• How to get those conversations going.

This is a great way to kick-start any community service initiative or to celebrate volunteers in your community. Please email Liz for more information: author@elizabethrusch.com.
